Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering is one of the broadest and oldest
of the engineering disciplines, extending across many technical specialties.
Civil Engineers plan, design, and supervise the construction of facilities
essential to modern life like space satellites and launching facilities,
offshore structures, bridges, buildings, tunnels, highways, transit systems,
dams, airports, harbors, water supply system and wastewater treatment plants. A
civil engineer is responsible for planning and designing a project, constructing
the project to the required scale, and maintenance of the project. A civil
engineer requires not only a high standard of engineering knowledge but also
supervisory and administrative skills.

What does a Civil Engineer do?

Civil engineers are involved in the design and
building of highways, bridges and tunnels, schools, hospitals, airports and
other buildings, sewage systems and water treatment facilities.

Most structures, large and small, require the help
of a civil engineer whether in the designing, planning or managing of the
project.

Civil engineers also help to preserve our
environment by assisting in the cleaning up of existing pollution and planning
ways to reduce future pollution of our air, land and water.

What is the future for a Civil Engineering graduate?

Civil engineers are employed in all the major
construction projects carried out by the state or central government like the
public works departments (PWD), the railways and military. Civil Engineers are
mostly required in private construction and real estate companies as project
engineers. Civil Engineers can find the opportunities in any of the following
